Lets let a petulant man-child control one of the most important media companies in the world. What could possibly go wrong?

“Important” is not what I would use to describe one of the most toxic and uninteresting cesspools to come out of the Internet.

>>tourma+aj1
unfortunately that's why it's important. it's like a cesspool being upstream of a city's water source being an "important" problem.

>>greeni+dw2
Is it really upstream of the water source, or is it its own lake that sometimes, but not often, runs off into the water supply?

The mainstream idea is that Twitter is important, but I haven’t seen much reason to agree. Most apps that rely on it could be served with an RSS feed. Most people I’ve met don’t use Twitter to any measurable degree. The amount of real world change the service has brought is rather low given how often it appears in mainstream media. In fact I see TikTok do more to influence and promote.

i don't think you realize how much culture moves on twitter. regardless of your personal opinion and your selection bias of nobody in your friend group using it. so much happens on twitter, still, even after elon musk has driven folks off of it.
